To all whom it may concern! Be it known that 1, CHARLES TELLIER, a citizen of the Republic of France, residing at Paris, France, have invented new and useful Improvements in the Production of- Motive Power and Apparatus Therefor, (patented in France by Letters Patent to the Socit de Navigation Economique, No. 159,851, dated January 22, 1884; in Belgium by Letters Patent No. 66,34t0, dated September 18, 1884.; in Great Britain by Letters Patent No. 12,640, dated September 20, 1884; in Italy by Letters Patent, Vol. XXXIV, No. 303, dated September 30,1884; in Austria-Hungary by Letters Patent No. 35,516 and 52,873, dated December 16, 1884; in Portugal by Letters Patent No. 957, dated October 15, 1884; in Spain by Letters Patent No. 4,494, dated April 23, 1885; partly in Germany byLetters Patent No. 36,133, dated July 25, 1885; in Brazil by Letters Patent No. 238, dated June 6,

'1885, and in India by Letters Patent No. R.

126 1,016, dated October 27, 1885,) of which the following is a specification.

My invention is represented in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is an elevation of my machine or apparatus for producing motive power. Fig.

2 is a vertical section, partly in elevation; of the motor-cylinder. Fig. 3 is a horizontal section of the motor on the line Z Z of Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a plan of the motor. Fig. 5 Lisa vertical section of the motor-piston. Fig.8 is avertical section of one of the interchangers. Fig. 7 is avertical section of one of the force-pumps on the line 1 y of Fig. 3, and Fig. 8 represents the igniting-plug and adjacent parts.

My invention consists of an improved machine for producing motive power by the direct employment of certain combustible gasessuch as hydrogen, carbonic oxide, carbonated hydrogen, &c.-and by efiecting the combustion of these gases in the motorcylinder by the improved means hereinafter described.

The combustible gases produced by any suitable apparatus, but preferably by my apparatus for producing combustible gases patented April 10,1883,No. 27 5,437 are drawnin (No model.) Patented in France January 22, 1884,110. 159,851; in

and in India October in a cold state by the pump J. The construction of these pumps is represented in vertical section at Fig. 7. They are provided with,

' similar to those described in my former Letters Patent No. 27 5,437 dated the 10th day of April, 1883. The said chains heated by the gases are cooled by a current of cold Water entering through the tube Z Z, Fig. 1, and passing to the openings Y and Y, Fig. 7. These pumps serve to receive through the openings 1) b" the combustible gases coming from the gas-producer. These gases are compressed and cooled bythepumps and then sent through delivery-valves d d. Thence by means of an arrangement of tubes they pass to the lower part K of the interchanger E. (Shown at Figs. 1 and 4, and detachedin section. at Fig. 6.) The gases enter the interchanger E through the opening K,pass around the cluster.

of tubes 13, and thence out through the open-.

ing K The tube 0 0, Fig. 1, then conducts them to the distributing slide-valve M,'Figs. 1 and 2. The pump H, Figs. 1, 3, and 4, on the other hand, takes in atmospheric air. This pump, constructed exactly on the same principle as the pump J,- compresses the air thus drawn in, at the same time cooling it. It forces this compressed air into the interchanger F, Figs. 1 and 4, which is constructed like the interchanger E. (Shown in section at Fig. 6.) The air thus drawn into the interchanger leaves through the opening K and the tube 0 O and passes to the distributing slide-valve M. When this valve M is opened, the gaseous mixture coming from the tubes 0 0 O O is admitted into the cylinder until the admission-valve is closed. The said gases, having a pressure due to the action of the pumps, drive the piston before them until the admission is stopped. Any suitable slides or valves can be employed for opening and closing this admission.

Fig. 2 illustrates the mode of distribution" erstion of the machine in a similar manner to that ofa steam-engine-that is to'say, by means of eccentrics or cams-the gaseous mixture is ignited by means of an electric spark through the igniting-plug represented in Fig.

8. This igniting device U consists of a plug.

of insulating material Z Z, through which pass two Wires m and n in communication with any suitable generator of electricity. A knob quired moment.

operated by the crank, the head of the piston, or any other suitable movable part of the machine ignites the gaseous mixture at the re- As shown at U U, Fig. 3, one or more of these igniting apparatuses is placed either on the bottomsor on the sides-v of thecylinder. When the ignition is effected, a pressure is produced greater than that of the admission in the cylinder. This pressure would cause the admission -'slides r to be blownaway if the-precaution were not taken to place thembetween'double plates, as represented at c n and at 0 f Fig. 5.

are hotand it is important to-utilize the heatcooling apparatus, sothat it may be used .afresh. If water under pressure be available, I thepump h*- could be dispensed with and it would besupplied through the tubeZ Z, Fig. 1,.to feed the pumps. Fig. 7 showsthis tube conducting the water to-the openings 'y y through-tubes provided with retaining-valves for preventing the return of thewater back-1 ward during the period of compression.

When the. piston has completed its stroke, 1 the-gases escape through the exhaust-valves :D,D',;Fig. 2. These gases-could be allowed to escape directlyinto the atmosphere if they did not possess any sensible heat; but as they thegases are conducted through the tubes Z Z casing-surrounding the cylinder-,as shown in 1 Figs. 2 and 4.

sable.) In all cases the exhaust-gases are afterward conducted to the interchangers E F- and g g, Fig. 2. .These tubes extend into a (This casing is not indispenby't-hetubes L L GG and pass throughthe exchange-tubes B Fig. 6, and finally leave through the opening L, Fig. 6. Now around the tubes B.' I have'causedthe gases to pass which go tothe motor-cylinder, and .asthese gases, which arrive in acold state, circulate in an opposite direction to the heated gaseous current leaving the motor-cylinder, an exchange of caloric takes place between them, so that the used and escaping gases are deprived of as much heat as possible, while, on the other hand, the gases which are passing to the motor-cylinder have the said heat imparted to them. The above is a description of the operation of the interchanger.

By reference to Fig. 4 it will be seen that, if desired, the gases can be caused to escape through the tube M", and thence might be conducted by a suitable pipe directly to the interchangers; or they could, if desired, be caused to pass through a jacket surrounding the'cylinder, so asto prevent it from becoming cool, and then becaused to escape through the tubes ,g' g Z Z.

The movement of the motor-piston B B Fig. 2, is transmitted by the rod V to a'slide W, which carries a connecting-bar-R 'R,-which, as shown in Fig. 1, actuates the force-pumps I J H, and by means of connecting-rods S S zar id pranks-p p p p rotatesthe motor-shaft P P Fig. 5 showsa section of the piston. This pistonisconstructed with springs 'r" 0", carrying a bronze or 0ther:anti-friction,; metal packing s' s'. In order to cause these springs to bear on the periphery of. thecylvinder,:-I providesooketsu u, in whichare placed spiral springs bearing againstsmall plugs t" 1), which press against the springs r r, and consequently assist their action.

To. putthemachine in motion, afew revolutions are given by hand to the-fly-wheel. The pumps, beingthus-operated, will draw in the combustible gases comingfronr the gas producer, and as -soon as these: gases enter the motor-cylinder electric communication is established and motion is. produced.

Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of thesaidinvention and in whatmanner-the same is to be performed, I declare'thatwhah-Iclaim is- In a motor in which the power developed by the combustion of a gaseous mixture is utilized, the-.combination, with thesuction and force. pumps having the calorific chains applied and performing the duty as set-forth, of .a motor-piston and thereheaters :E and F, these parts being arranged andgoperating substantially as and for the :purposes described.
